GDB/testsuite: Fix a catastrophic step-over-no-symbols.exp failure

Fix a catastrophic failure in gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols.exp where
remote target communication issues cause the value of the PC retrieved
to be empty:

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols.exp: displaced=off: stepi

To do so verify first, before making an arithmetic comparison, that the
values to compare are actually integers (using a string comparison would
result in a false PASS if both operands were empty, as in this case),
making the test script proceed normally:
